Printing, Just a Little
Views: 395	Date added: 9/18/2008

Ever need to print just part of a web page or e-mail? You too huh? read on. First, you need to know that this does not work with every system out there. This tip only works if both your printer driver and the software application you're using supports this little trick. So, take this for what it's worth. Here's how it usually works: 1. First, select the area you would like to print. 2. Next, from the file menu, select Print... 3. When the printer dialog box comes up, look for an option for "Selection", in a "Print Range" frame. Again, not all printers / software support this. 4. Click Print. BTW - Please note that I was NOT able to get this little trick to work with Netscape (4.x or 6). This may be due to my printer driver, but I'm guessing that it's more likely that Netscape doesn't support selective printing. Oh, one more thing. If you can't print a selection, you can always copy and paste the stuff you want into a word processor and print it from there. Sure, it's not nearly as much fun, but it's better than printing out eight pages of junk just to get a small section of text.
